🕰️ Excellent Explanation! 👏
Your step-by-step breakdown is clear and concise. Let’s recap:
Step 1: Calculate the occurrences of right angles per hour
There are 2 right angles per hour, once when the minute hand is ahead of the hour hand by 90 degrees and once when it is behind.
Step 2: Calculate the occurrences of right angles in 12 hours
12 hours × 2 right angles/hour = 24 occurrences
Step 3: Calculate the occurrences of right angles in 24 hours (a full day)
24 occurrences × 2 (for 24 hours) = 48 occurrences
Final Answer: The hands of a clock form a right angle 48 times per day. 🎉
